I have just finished my first go through a terrific childbirth CD. It's the only childbirth class I found that's interactive. I liked being able to skip around and I liked the self-tests at the end of each section. I'm sure I'm going to go back to the breastfeeding and baby care sections after my baby is born. I'm not so great with computers but this software was really easy to use. My partner and I are going to do our birth plan next; again, the program helps you think it through but makes it easy to have a finished plan. All these pictures and videos made me so excited, I can hardly wait to have my own baby.

This interactive multimedia childbirth CD is amazing!!! I found everything I needed in it in order to help me go through my delivery with less anxiety and stress. I could sit down, read or look at the video clips on childbirth exercises, feeding and bathing my baby and learning about my mental and physical recovery. This CD was a great help for our childbirth experience and taking care of our newborn, it took me step by step through every stage of the pregnancy and after. I was even able to print birth announcements. The video clips were the best; it was like having a nurse around the clock, very comforting. Highly recommended! A must get for every pregnant women.

Three weeks ago I gave birth to our third son. His two older brothers are 9 and 7 years old. A long time has passed since they were born, many things have changed and I didn't remember all the details. I felt a need to refresh my knowledge regarding preparation, birth stages, breathing, etc.

The "Childbirth" software helped me a lot, and in a more interesting way than birth-preparation books. The video clips provide excellent how-to demonstrations. The software also helped refresh my partner's knowledge, and made him more ready and involved in preparation for the birth.

"Childbirth" was also helpful post-partum, refreshing my knowledge regarding basic care and breastfeeding. Even now, three weeks after birth, I still refer to the software as a resource when I have a question.

I have no doubt that for first-time moms who have never been through this, the combination of reliable, balanced professional information, and video clips with demonstrations and real birth stories told in first person, will be even more helpful.

To sum it up: a great software, and you won't be sorry you bought it.

Perfect for expecting Parents. This is the first product I found that covers the whole childbirth class, baby care, mom care, and breast/bottle feeding. All in eight lessons. You can read the text, watch the video, listen to the doctor, or learn from the nurse. The dictionary is very helpful, and an interactive self-assessment summarizes each lesson. It was perfect for us!

I just found out that I need to be in bed for the rest of my pregnancy. I am due in six weeks. I was therefore looking for a childbirth class I could take from home. I found the Childbirth software, and I thought it would be
great to be in bed with my laptop. This software seems able to provide information about any problem you have concerning childbirth, the post partum period, and baby feeding. They even provided birth announcements you can design yourself. I love it!

As a second-time mother I found this course invaluable. It was an easy and convenient way to refresh and test my knowledge before the big day. The user interface was very intuitive and provided methods to switch quickly between topics. It provided me with tools that gave me the confidence to deal with the challenges that come with each birth experience. The diagrams and photographs were very clear and informative. I particularly found the birth plan checklist and printout very valuable; it helped to structure my labour preferences clearly before entering the hospital.

My copy of this CD, which I purchased through Amazon.com, did not come with a serial number. Therefore, when I attempted to use the CD, I couldn't. I left several voicemail messages and sent a number of e-mails to modus 5, but to no avail. My baby is due in about a month, and I still am not able to use this CD because I don't have a serial number, and I have not heard back from Julie Lyss (or anyone else) at modus 5 despite my numerous attempts to contact her. I am very disappointed and feel that I have wasted my money with this product. I wish I could get a refund. Better yet, it would be nice to get a serial number so that I could utilize the CD.

I am very happy that we purchased this cd. My Fiance is a State Trooper and his schedule has been very hectic over the past couple of months with overtime. So, it was difficult to even schedulle a birthing class that he would be able to attend even half the classes with me. This cd was also nice, because it includes everything (it is the equivilant of attending 3 different classes). Also their are cirtain lesssons that you can wait until after your baby is born to review; that will help with the care of your newborn. That way it is still fresh. There is alot of reading, so for those that hate to read, this might not be for you.

This cd was so helpful to me. Extremely informative about childbirth techniques, and the postpartum. I would recommend it for all new moms to be!

This resource guide is FULL of useful information. You probably will have more information than you even need, but it's better to have too MUCH information at your disposal than not enough!

I'm glad we bought it prior to the birth of our child, so that we could feel prepared for the entire pregnancy and birth process!
